happy birthday mini banner/cake banner (free printable)

I created this mini happy birthday banner for my husband's birthday last week. As his birthday fell on a weekday I already knew beforehand I wasn't going to have time to decorate a cake. And it was just the four of us anyway, so no point in doing anything too fancy.

Instead, I made my strawberry layered cake, skipped any complicated cake decor and just added the happy birthday cake banner.

To make one, download the file here and run it through a color printer.

  

Cut each of the banner pieces and gather the rest of the materials you'll need: bits of yarn, paper glue and two wooden sticks (barbecue sticks are great for this).

Fold each banner piece in two and glue it with the yarn in between. Because I was making a small cake I decided to place the two words into separate lines. For larger cakes you just can add all the letters in a row.

The final step is to tie the edges of the yarn to the wooden sticks and you're done.

Now you just need a cake and a birthday to celebrate (sorry about the quality of the pictures but it was dark already by the time I finished getting the cake ready).

Use this printable in any way you want, but if you re-post or share on social media, please leave a link back to this page!

Happy Monday!
